Pentax-K10D

Pentax - K10D Review

Price (MSRP): $899
Megapixel: 10.2
Type: Digital SLR
Submitted by: Reviewer from Hastings, MI
Date Reviewed: 1/4/2007
Months Owned: Less than 1
Photos Taken: Less than 500
Skill Level: Pro

What's Hot: Anti-shake with all my lenses. Sealed body. Easy to read menu. 2.5 inch screen.

What's Not:

Review: Finally got the K10D. Had to wait for the store to get them in. Also got the battery grip which also holds a spare memory card; how neat is that? Printed a section of a photo that would have been a 35 inch by 53 inch had the whole thing been printed and the color, contrast, sharpness etc was all great. Already taken over 100 exposures in less than a week. I've taken 9,000 exposures with the ist D over the past three years and still love the camera. Also own the MZ-S and 645n. Can't understand why nikon and canon get all the press. Pentax has served me well for years!
